In this special season finale of College Voices, Glynn sits down with Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Peter Struck, to explore what shapes undergraduate education at Penn. As the final First Friday Focus of the semester, this episode goes behind the scenes to understand how administrators coordinate with students, faculty, and staff to create an educational environment that values exploration and knowledge for its own sake. Dean Struck shares insights into the purpose behind the college's interdisciplinary approach and how the seemingly winding paths students take are actually part of a deliberate design to foster deep thinking and broad exploration. The conversation reveals that beyond all the busyness of classes, activities, and jobs, what truly makes the College what it is are the vibrant, creative, and intellectually engaged people who make up its community.
